When the DM first came out they were basic, black on black old handles. we were shocked at the 69 dollar price (and luv'd it) but when you want colors and different handles and grinds and pretty satin/finishes the price will go up~!

Dan has given us many of these things and we're lucky but I personally like a great blade at a great price (like the original DM) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

be careful what you ask for because you'll pay for it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
